Adam is now stuck on the topic of masturbating, He is discussing Ray’s methods. Adam is now talking about guys with casts and beating off, the strategy of using your bad hand. Adam just revealed that he forced Chris Laxamana to quiz guys over what hands they use to beat off, Chris is now on mic, oh man it’s hilarious!

Adam essentially sent Chris to a Scared Straight encounter to ask them about beating off. Adam is on fire, hilarious premise after premise. Adam has read Chris read the results, Adam does an informal survey of the staff, so far it’s 10 for 10 right hand, which proves Adam’s theory that Ray was in a very low sub single digit percentile.
